[Cocktails and Books]

Wicked and Dangerous is actually 2 short novels in one book Wicked All Night by Shayla Black and Make Me Yours by Ryannon Byrd.

In Wicked All Night Decker McConnell is a former military/CIA operative turned corporate security specialist, when he is approached by a man in a bar mistaking him for the man he hired to kill Rachel Linden he plays along then sets out to find out who wants her dead.

Decker uses seduction as a means to get close to Rachel and soon finds he is in way over his head with this woman. Rachel has been divorced for a year and is ready to find herself a one night stand, how was she to know it would turn into so much more.

This book is hot, Hot, HOT! with Decker seducing Rachel right from the start we have some seriously intense sex scenes that will leave you needing a cold drink and a hot man.



Make Me Yours has ex black ops Scott Ryder rescuing the daughter of his former CO and the woman who he wouldn't let himself have Lily Heller. Lily witness her father and his girlfriend be murdered by a man they all thought was dead a year before. Lily runs to Scott knowing he will protect her and if he can't she is going to at least sleep with the only man she has ever wanted.

With Scott doing what he can to protect Lily while trying to stay out of her bed he is slowly making himself crazy, fireworks explode when he can't keep away any longer.

This story has a lot of action both in and out of the bedroom. Scott has some serious emotional issues to deal with from his past and Lily has the trauma of having seen her father murdered. There are times when it feels like I was missing some of the back story someplace but it all works out in an exciting and sexy short read.
